Nyaka's Grandmothers joined more than 100 others from around the country for the International Grandmothers' Gathering, which took place in Kampala from October 24th to 26th, 2023. This was a hybrid event organized by the Stephen Lewis Foundation through the Grandmothers' Consortium in Uganda under the theme "Reflect, Rejuvenate, Renew: Grandmothers Rising to New Possibilities."
Our Grandmothers, representing thousands from Kanungu, Rukungiri, and Rubanda districts, connected with fellow grandmothers from other parts of the country. Grandmothers participated in a march to raise awareness about their needs and concerns. During the gathering, one of several held across the continent and in Canada, the grandmothers reflected on current grandmother-led priorities, collectively planned for the future, and shared their needs and concerns with policy leaders to shape the way forward.
